Coq Au Vin (Pressure Cooker) image

An updated version that is simpler but just as good, especially if you use the cognac to add to the authentic flavors of the dish. Serve it over cooked noodles or boiled potatoes.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 slices smoked bacon, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
salt and pepper
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 (1 lb) bag white pearl onion, thawed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
8 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 cups dry red wine, such as Burgundy
1/4 cup cognac
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In the pressure cooker fry the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a bowl and set aside. Add the 1 tablespoon oil to the pressure cooker and bring to a hot temperature.
  • Season with salt and pepper the chicken pieces. To the pot add the pieces of cut-up chicken and brown in batches in the bacon fat and oil. Transfer cooked pieces to the bowl with the bacon once it's lightly browned.
  • Add the carrot and celery to the pressure cooker; saute for 2 minutes. Add the onions; saute for 3 minutes or until they begin to brown. Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and parsley; saute for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their moisture.
  • Stir in the wine and cognac. Return the bacon and chicken pieces. Lock the lid into place and bring to low pressure; maintain pressure for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, quick-release the pressure and remove the lid.
  • In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the water. Return the pressure cooker to medium heat. Bring to a simmer and whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
  • Simmer for 3 minutes or until the sauce is thick and glossy and the cornstarch flavor has cooked out of the sauce. Adjust seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a fan of coq au vin, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. He said it was the best coq au vin he's ever had.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up making a few mistakes and the dish didn't turn out very well. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my coq au vin turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken. Next time, I will be more careful with the cooking time.

The coq au vin was good, but I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will use less sugar.
